You mean downloading messages from IMAP locally? Yup. Unfortunately, I found
that its IMAP support (at least when I tried it, a few months back) didn't work
that great with non-INBOX folders. I don't know if it was a problem with gnus,
or my mail provider (MyRealBox.com), but I assume that if you're downloading
your messages, you won't really care about IMAP folders.
But, like the other guy said, it's not for newbies. Getting it set up properly
can take a while. And make sure you read the info file. And then read it
again, to find out about all the cool features that it has.
